"We tried various other ways to mitigate the water coming into our basement - inside French drain, outside French drain, regarding the backyard - but nothing fully worked. EveryDry did a full remediation of our basement and FINALLY completely resolved our water issues. It's been a year and we haven't had a drop enter."

Customers say: True professional

"Mario was such a pleasure to work with on all of our yard/landscaping needs. Being that we moved into a brand new home, the yard and builder grade landscaping was the pits. Mario came to our house and made recommendations (we had an area where there was a lot of draining from other yards) and an area where the grass area was so steep that we needed help. He recommended a dry creek bed the length of our back yard in addition to a 8 foot retaining wall complete with a tree and bushes to finish off the area that was very steep. He quoted us a price and stuck to that price, there was no slippage in the pricing. He was on time and his workers were very friendly -- man they work hard and didn't leave at 5:00 (when all the other construction workers would leave). They stayed until the job was done. And, you never knew they were there - except for the work being done and beautiful. They really cleaned up after themselves. I would highly recommend Mario and his team to anyone, you can't beat the price and the service is outstanding."

French Drains questions, answered by experts

Yes, hiring a drain cleaner is worth it, especially when compared to the cost of not being able to use a sink, shower, toilet, or bathtub and the potential damage that flooding can cause in your home. You might try a temporary drain cleaning liquid or snaking it yourself, but if the clog is out of reach or these methods do not work, then hiring a professional drain cleaner is the way to go.

Avoid flushing non-degradable items, schedule regular inspections, and address minor clogs promptly.

If you've discovered a rather frightening buildup of brown and black gunk below your shower cover, you're not alone. The smelly sludge is often a collection of mildew and biofilm. Biofilm comes from the breakdown of soap scum, hair, skin cells, and bacteria that collects during shower time. It's quite common in a humid space and relatively easy to clean with a gentle DIY cleaning solution such as baking soda and vinegar.

As a preventative measure, hydro jetting should be done every one to two years. However, the best practice is to hydro jet your sewer line once per year. The ideal frequency depends on several factors, including the age and condition of your pipes, how prone they are to clogging, how often the sewer line is used, and the type of waste disposed of in the system. If you frequently experience clogs or are unsure, it's best to ask a licensed plumber for a recommendation specific to your plumbing system.

To unclog a plumbing vent, you first need to locate it. Look at your home's roofline. The plumbing vent will be a vertical pipe sticking straight up from the roof. Since this pipe runs all the way to the main drain underneath your house, you should also be able to find it in the attic.
